contribution which certain parties wish to pervert for their favourite purpose was meant to diffuse its aids to the whole Highlands and islands of Scotland in extraordinary and critical emergencies. Just suppose that this misappropria tion were quietly effected, and that another Highland dearth were to ensue in a year or two, we beg to know with what face a new appeal could be made to the public, or with what liberality it would probably be responded to? There need be no hurry at all in disposing of this money. We trust the subscribers will let the Committee know their mind upon the subject in a very peremptory way ; and if any proposal be entertained in regard to the endowment of an hospital, we insist that a lunatic asylum is the most ap propriate sphere of usefulness within which the proposal and the proposers ought alike to be confined.—Times. We are happy to find, from a conversation which was introduced last night in the House of Peers by the ques tions of Lord Brougham, that there exists a disposition on the part of their Lordships, some of whom are eminently qualified for the task, to sift to the bottom the recent con duct of the Indian Government towards the Royal Family of Oude. 'We rejoice in the prospect of such an investi gation, because we believe that the safety of our Indian em pire depends wholly upon the opinion which we have taught the natives of India to entertain of the superior intelli gence, integrity, and vigour of the British character ; atal because we find, in the papers recently laid be fore the House of Commons, the whole of which we published on Saturday last., appalling evidence that Englishmen in high, we might say the highest, sta tions in India, have, in their recent transactions with the kingdom of Oude, displayed broadly, and even ostentatiously, the most contemptible weaknesses, and the most odious vices of the Oriental charac ta r. Lord Brougham's first question was, whether the order had b:en sent from this country to place the uncle of the deceased Sovereign upon the Throne instead of his son ? To this question Lord Glenelg had no hesitation to rep'y that no orders had been sent out to Lord Auckland upon the subject, and that he hal acted in the matter ueun his own judgment. We would recommend Lord Brougham, the next time that he becomes inquisitive upon this subject, to inquire of Lord Glenelg whether Lord Auckland, when he went out to India, did not go with the impression carefully and diligently imparted to him, by means of written instructions, or of verbal intercourse with members of the Government here, that it was the determined policy of the British Government to break t'e-ou_;h the existing treaty with the then Sovereign of 0.-le, to diminish hi; territory, his wealth, and his power, and to divest him of whatever small remnant of in dependence the existing treaey had left him. It is better that questions of this nature should be asked in the House of Parliament in %Odell Lord Glenelg can be present than elsewhere. Lord Glenelg was P,e;elent of the Board of Coetroul when the Court of King's Bench was applied to for it; mandamus, to corepel the Court of Dirac' ors of the East India Compeny to send out an order that the King of (Jude should be commanded, upon pain of the displeasure and resentment of the British Government of India, to pay obsolete, usurious, and debt; to an amount far ex ceeding that of the National lleht of Etaeand, and far ceedii g the wealth of all the native Piinees of India, if it could all he gatliored into cne help. Lora G!enelg was Preeileet of the Board of Controul when tie Cent of lli rrctors re''used, or at least withliela, obedience to the cons mana of that Beard, even when reinforced by the mandamus of the Court of King's Beech. herd Ghene'g was Presi dent of the Beer] of Centroul wl:en t' eoettunecv of gate Court of ar,ctors wag le ft u .in when r; parts were rife el it a coana on,lie led be. n effcc• t io virtue of wh'cli the par:ies in El gland who were i,tcr: , sted in the prepo.t..r:mi iig,i,:st the IC:ng o!' 01(10 wee to be sati.,!l!d by the East IndiaCena2anv, and the East India Gover , lment w ere to he 1 ft bv the Baird Cf.ntroul without any controul liatever io their pro ceedings towards the K ng of(,ogre, whose tem ritories word tempth g, and r.hese arcurnul,ltyd tre,,sercs were known to ho inlmense.

Mas t-rs. What we hove now stated afferls the strongest pos sible reason for the belief that the affairs of Outle cannot he so well investigated anywhere as in that Assembly acrLhrli enjoys the advantage of Lord Gienelg's presence. \Ve hope, therefor:, and belie; e that Lora Brougham will sticie to the subject in the house of Lords, until every thing that is ob,cure and mysterious abcut it be completely cleared up. The next questions of Lord Brougham re lated to the preference given to the uncle over the son of the late King, on the alleged ground that this was agreeable to the Mahomedan law ; and to the agreement signed by the uncle, or, as the papers show, ex torted from him, before he was invited by the British Re sident at Lucknow, to the palace and throne of his ances tors. Lord Brougham asked only for the papers already laid before the House of Commons, for the purpose of elucidating these questions. But Lord Ellenborough sug gested the necessity of additional papers. We cannot doubt that in this respect the latter Noble Lord is entirely in the right, for the papers which Sir John Cam Hohhouse has placed upon the table of the House of Commons, pre sent, if they are not to be qualified or explained by further documents, a case for the impeachment of Lord Auektand of high crimes and misdemeanors. The document of the earliest date in the printed l aper4 now before us is a me morandum by Colonel Low, the British Resident at Luck now, written on the 3d of July, 1837, " in order (we quote the words of the document) to show what persons are the nearest heirs to the throne of Oude. Their names," the document proceeds, " shall be placed in this list in the regular order of their proximity of relationship to the `resent King of Oude, according to the Mahomedan law." Colonel Low then goes on to make his list, placing all the sons of the grandfather of the reigning Sovereign before the sons of the reigning Sovereign, or the sons of the next eldest son of the common ancestor, Saadut Ali Khan. This, Colonel Low tells the Governor-General of India, without quoting any authority, is according to the Mahomedan law. But the Mahomedan law must then be a very changeable law indeed ; or the deference of the Bri tish authorities in India to it must he a principle of policy very recently adopted ; for it is quite. clear from Colonel Low's own statement, that on tire two last occasions when the Oude throne became vacant, the succession was, in fact, determined by the European law of representation, and not by Colonel Low's Mahomedan law of collateral inheritance. Colonel Low, quite unaware, we suppose, of what he was doing, demolishes his own Ma homedan law, as an authority for the succession to the throne of Oude, in the very first lines of his memoran dum. " First (says he) I may mention that Saadut Ali Khan bad ten sons :—lst, Gazee-ood-Been-Ryder, the late King ; he had only one son ; viz., the present King." Were the two last Kings of Oude usupers, set up in defiance of the Mahomedan law by the British authorities of India for their own purposes ? Or is the Mahomedan law at every moment just what the Resident at Lucknow may think fit to consider the Mahomedan law ? Or are the British au thorities in India to take their choice whenever there hap pens to be a throne vacant in India by which law, the Euro pean or the Mahornedan, the successor shall be deter mined ? Colonel Low, however, wrote his potential mernorerolum on the 3d of July ; and the unfortunate King of (Jude died very suddenly and unexpectedly in his Pala ce on the 7th of the s am e month. Our residents at the Courts of the Native Princes of In dia ought certainly to he taught great caution in making memoranda, since it so plainly appears th a t a memoran d um way be fatal. Omitting the brief warfare with native forces by which Colonel Low asserted the right of the In dian Government to determine who should, and who should not, be the successor to the vacant throne, we n ex t find this active and zea lous funct i onary a party to the following very pretty and instructive agreement : "Translation of a decd of engagement, executed by Newaub Nusseer. ood-Dowlah, on the night of the 7th of July, 1837.

The SNIAKER entered the House shortly before Four o'Clock. The Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the table, and summoned the House to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to several public and private Bills ; for which see our Lords' report. On the motion of Sir J. GRAHAM, the Committee on the Duke of Hamilton's Estate Bill had leave given them to sit on Friday next. Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition from the city of London in favour of an increased grant to the Church of Canada. Also one praying fur the repeal of the Catholic Relief Bill. Captain PECHELL presented a petition from the Fishermen of Brighton, complaining of the aggressions of the French upon their fish ing boats. Mr. BRA MSTON presented a petition from Chelmsford praying for the repeal of the Beer Bill. Mr. WILLIAMS presented a petition from a Wesleyan Congrega. tion in Monmouth, praying that the English soldiery might not be com pelled to attt.nd the idolatrous worship of India. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN presented a petition from Limerick, corn. . . plaining of the effect of the Boundaries Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER presented petitions from the Beer Sellers of Warrington, against any alteration in the Beer Act ; also a similar petition from Stockport. The Right Hon. Member also presented a petition, praying that the Botanical Garden at Kew might be thrown open to the public for the purposes of science. On the motion of Lord SANDON, the Liverpool Clergy Endow ment Bill was read a third time and passed. The Militia Ballot Suspension Bill was read a second time, and or dered to be committed. The West India Prisons Bill was reported. The Transfer of Funds Bill went through Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the order of the day for bringing up the report of the Committee of Supply. Mr. PAKINGTON wished to ask a question on the subject of two Hospitals in Canada, at Kingston and Toronto. They pos sessed considerable funds, but f urther assistance was required, and it was considered there was strong ground for applying fox assistance to this country on the ground that the parties receiving the benefit were poor and destitute emigrants. An application was accordingly made in 1835, to Lord Aberdeen, who made a promise that a recommendation should be given to the Lords of the Treasury to direct an annual allowance from the casual and territorial revenue of Canada. The question s hich he wished to put was, whether on a repetition of this application from Ca. nada the pre.sent Colonial Government would feat disposed to recom mend a similar annual allowance. Sir GEORGE GREY said that when this application was made it was for assistance in the shape of land, but it was re. fused; but Lord Aberdeen thought they had a claim on the casual and teritorial revenue an.l directed the Lieutenant-Gover. nor to bring the subject again under the consideration of the Governor, in the event of that revenue being capable of bearing the additional charge. No subsequent application had been made, and there was not at present any prospect of a.sistance being afforded. The report was then 13: ought up. On the grant bein proposed for printing in Ireland, Mr. HUME inquired what had been done on that subject. The country was paying 6d. per sheet for printing done there, whilst in England the expense was only l Id.—(Hear, hear.) This appeared to him to be a waste of the public money. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that an alteration had been made within the last year or two which was not only likely to lead to a diminution of expense but to considerable improvement. Mr. NVALLACE said the Statutes were charged at such a high rate, that the poorer classes could not procure them.—(Hear.) Mr. HUME said, by the evidence taken before a Committee of the Treasury, it appeared that Parliamentary Papers could be printed for V 2 d. per sheet ; yet the Lards of the Treasury still persisted in giving the public printers I Id per sheet. The vote was agreed to. On the vote for the expenses of the late insurrection in Canada, Mr. iIU ME observed, that these expences had been rendered neces. sary, entirely through the indiscretion and fully of the Govern ment. Lord Durham had been sent over to tranquillize that colony. He (Mr. Hume) hoped his Lordship's efforts would be sue.. cessful. In the meantime he protested most earnestly against the vote which was now about to be passed. Vote agreed to. Mr. II A WES ni,j,t,d to the vote to the Trustees • f the lb itish Mu. um, on the grcund that the resolutions ado: ted lry the House had not been coniplict wi• h , many cfthe oircers of that establishment having been passed by. Ile thought that the exp:nditure of the public money fur enlarging the Eritish Museum was totally unnecessary. The returns that had been Lid on the table on the subj ect contained great omis slang, wMch he hoped would be rectified. Sir R. PEEL, as one of the Trustees of the British Museum, could a,sur2 the Hon. Member and the House that the recommendations of the Committee bad in es far as pos.ible been complied with, and the otters were still tinder consideration by the Trustees. Mr. \V A RC.' itTON r eeommemle that cacti °filar of the Museum, s:‘culd ir Eke a repErate report of the state of Ills department. Mr HUME wz, more and more confirmed in his o,dnion that offi ckil residenc.s ought not to be pi ovichrd, but a liberal house rent allowed to every c lam Mr. II A WES rema:ked that en the evidence of Sir It. Sof Eke, it appeared that ea:b of the official residences in the British Museum cost f.,000/. The report was then rreeived. Cn the motion of the CHA NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER!, the rep,rt on the Civil List Act was received. Mr. HUME !aid when the Bill founded on the report was intro. ductd, he should feel it to be his duty to make some statement, with reneet to it. BF.NIEFICES PLURALITIES BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the House should ag, ee to the Lords' Amendments to tl.e Benefices Pluraltics Mr. C. LUSIIING CON thought a great portion of the Amendments were totzaly unintelligdde. The powers of the Ecclesiastical Commis sion were greatly cntrenc!‘ed upon, and given to the Archbishop of Cantert•ury. Ile hoped Ministers would postpone the Bill till next Session ; and for the purpose of enab!ing tlitin to do so, he should now move that the amendments should be e,,nsideied that day three months. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that that Bill hal Leen very much considered in the House and the Committee. The main principle of the Bill had beets adopted by the Lords. Certain Clatl , CS had been altered, but nothing had been done trenching at alt upon the principles of the Bill. He thought it would Le too much, because the Hots. Member did not understand the amendments, that they should be rejected altogether. Mr. WARBURTON thought that an opportunity ought to be given to Members to ascertain shat the Bill really was. Mr. HAWES considered the Bill an entirely new one. Time ought to have been allowed to the Clergy, in order that they might find out the situation in which their superiors wished them to be placed. There was one clause in favour of the Curates which much recommended the Bill to that House, which had been struck out without ceremony. Yet now the Noble Lord was ready to acquiesce in all the amendments merle by the Lords. The Noble Lord now showed the most slavish acquiescence in all that was done in that House.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") If such slavish conduct was to go on, the House of Commons might as well give up their whole legislativeprivileges, and look out of doors for public spirit. Great additional power was proposed to be put into the !lauds of the Archbishops and Bishops. Now when he found a Bishop declaring in a most public place his determination not to obey a law, even if it became such by the consent of the Legislature, it became them to look very narrowly at what powers the Bill proposed to give them. It was a mockery of Legislation to go on its such a way, and allow the House of Lords to ride paramount over the House of Commons. The Noble Lord was not discharging his duty to the country by such slavish obe dience to that House. At all events he hoped the Bill would not now be forced upon them without any time for consideration. — (He ar. ) Mr. AGLIONBY hoped the Noble Lord would at least allow a little more time to consider this Bill, and postpone it for a few days. Lord J. RUSSELL was willing to defer the Bill till Monday for the convenience of I-lon. Members who wished to have further time to eonsi der the amendments, but he feared the opposition was to the Bill in tote. Mr. HEATEICOTE considered a short adjournment of the subject necessary, in order that the opinions of the laity, as well as those of the clergy, might be obtained with respect to the amendments. Mr. HA WES did not require postponement in order to take the sense of the House against the Bill. Mr. C. LUSHINGTON agreed to the compromise offered by the Noble Lord, and deferred his amendment till Monday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for a Committee of the whole House on Joint-stock Banks. Captain BOLDER() asked what steps had been taken with regard to the Northeastern Boundary of America. Lord PALMERSTON said negociations had been for the last year and a half going on between America and Great Britain, as to whether a Commission should be appointed by the two countries to trace the line of boundary. These negociations had not yet come to a close. The two Governments were now in communication as to the appoint. ment of a Commission. The Joint Stock Bank Bill went through a Committee, and the:Repost was ordered to be received to-morrow. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Ecclesiastical Ap. pointment Suspension Bill was read a third time. A clause was added by way of rider, and the Bill then passed. POST OFFICE BILL The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the third reading of the Post-office Bill. Colonel SIBTEIORP opposed the third reading, believing the mea. sure to be a job on the part of the Government ; he considered the Bill one that no Government ought to sanction. The Hon. and Gallant Member concluded by moving, that the Bill should be read a third time that day three months. Mr. ELLIS rose to second the amendment of the Hon. and Gallant Officer, that the Bill be read a third time that day three months. Since he had last spoken upon the subject, reflection had confirmed him in the objections he first entertained against the measure. The object of the Bill was to take the affairs out of the hands of the Postmaster -General and vest them in those of three Commissioners; the first Commissioner to receive a salary of 2,0001. per annum ; the other two 1,2001. each, making altogether an expenditure of 4,400/. per annum. The expense of the present-management amounted to 2,5001. yearly; it was, there. fore, proposed to incur an excess of expense to the country of 1,9001. per annum.—(Hear, hear.) Why were three persons required to superintend this department ? He (Mr. Ellis) had heard no sufficient reason alleged. On the contrary, power was taken by the Bill to give the whole of its duties not absolutely to three—they might be conferred merely upon two, perhaps only upon one ; and it might so happen, if the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury should so think fit, that the administration of the Post-office would be given to no new Commissioner at all, but kept entirely in their own hands. Moreover, by the Bill, the new Commissioners, if appointed, were exclusively to follow the instructions of the Treasury, so that, pos. sibly, they were causing an enlarged payment of 1,9001. a-year for the sole purpose of placing the affairs of the Post-office in the hands of a nominee of the Treasury.—(Hear, hear.) Did such an enactment be. token the wisdom of the Government plan ? The Hon. Member for Bridport stated the other night that with respect to postage the country was on the eve of a revolution ; looking, however, to what was likely to be the nature of the revolution—that it would almost entirely be based upon increased facilities of communication, demanding, certainly, not more, if not less, intelligence on the part of the head of the Post-office— he (Mr. Ellis) thought that was an argument for diminishing rather than increasing the expenditure of the establishment. But then the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer had said that the main object of the Bil: was to have the Chief Commissioner eligible to a seat in that House. Why then had he not caused that to be specially enacted ? At present the Postmaster-General sat in Parliament, though in the Upper House; yet, by the measure under cons id erat i on, i t m i g ht b e o th m s m ta i n s d si i o n n g e i r t , w n o e u it l h d e s r ti i l . l b o e n l e eft n o o p u e s n e h o e fi r ll w t o h u e ld offi ti c ,e e of that, Chief withstanding for il or a P the r o t t Chief Commissioner have a seat—and thus the ' grievance mainly complained of, that of not having a person in the House of Commons to answer questions relative to the Post-office department, was liable to be left without a remedy. Again, he (Mr. Ellis) certainly conceived that whilst there was no objection for the Government to have a political asso. ciate in the House of Lords, he entertained a strong desire that the number of placcfneri should not be increased in that House ; and, con sidering that such proposition came with a bad grace from the present Ministers, he should on that ac count, as well as for the other reaso ns he had stated, • pre;s his hearty disapprobation of the measure. — (Hear.) ex After a shor t c onversation, in which Sir Robert Peel, the Chancell or of the Exchequer, and Mr. Labouc here took p art, C o lonel SIBTHORP withdrew his opposition, and the BM was read a third time and passed. SHANNON. NAVIGATION BILL. TFeCIIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER taid the', a* the tug- TFIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1838. gestion of many friends, he had determined to withdraw this Bill for the present Session. Mr. O'CONNELL said it was impossible to proceed with the Bill this Session. A number of his constituents, directors of the Grand Canal Company, had claims for compensation for the losses they must sustain by the passing of this Bill to the amount of 80,000/.;which claims could not possibly be investigated at this advanced period of the Session. A short conversation ensued, after which, On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Order was discharged. SPIRIT LICENSES (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. E. TENNENT moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. SHAW had the greatest objection to thi s Bill, which, if passed, would convert all the grocers into spirit dealers, and thus increase an evil already enormous. He had exerted himself for several years to check intemperance in the city of Dublin, but if he were not assisted by the Government he could not hope for any suc cess. He hoped, there. fore, that the Government would now come forward, and he entreated the Noble Lord opposite to refuse his assent to this Bill. He begged leave to move that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. O'CONNELL contended that the grocers, as a class, were more respectable than the publicans, and were deserving of the spirit licenses. If the object of the clause was to repress drunkenness, it should alto_ gether prohibit the sale of spirits, and more especially as regarded public houses. By levelling the measure as it was levelled, the object ap peared to be rather the putting down of grocers than drunkards. He had never in his life heard of any riot occurring in grocers' shops in consequence of their being permitted to hold spirit licenses. Colonel VERI , TER said that he understood the observation of the Right Hon. and Learned Member for the University of Dublin to apply only to the grocers of that city. With respect to the grocers of that part of the country with which he (Colonel Verner) was acquainted, he could bear testimony to the excellence of their character ; but he could not, of course, speak as to the character of the grocers in that part of the country with which he was not acquainted. Lord STANLEY said that the provision with respect to the grocers was not new. Parliament decided the point two years ago, by impos ing this restriction upon the grocers. The Bill allowed two years for the disposal of the stock in hand, so as not to make the grocers sufferers. Mr. HUME contended that all restrictions, so far from effecting a nything towards the doing a wa y with drunkenness, had quits the contrary effect. Lord MORPETH felt himself in a peculiar position with respect to the Bill. In the former measure which Government brought forward. it was proposed to insert a clause prohibiting the sale of spirits on the premises by grocers, but a deputation of that body having been sent over from Ireland to remonstrate on the point, the clause was aban doned. A similar clause, however, had been introduced by way of rider to the Bill, and as he (Lord Morpeth) had not divided the House upon it after the deputation of grocers had left London impressed wills the opinion that no such clause would be introduced, he felt almost as if he had broken faith with thorn, and would not therefore attempt to in fluence any votes upon the question. The House then divided, when there appeared — For the second reading 43 For the amendment l5 —2B Majority Sir F. TRENCH then moved for a Select Committee to inquire into those causes in which the Irish Government had offered rewards for the apprehension or the conviction of offenders against the laws, and in which such rewards, or any portion of them, have not been paid after apprehension or conviction, and with the causes why they have been withheld He did not by the motion mean to make any charges either against the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland or the Noble Secretary opposite, of wilfully encouraging outrage in that country, but he found the course adopted by them had been productive of that result. An HoN. MEMBER here moved that the House be counted, when it appearing that only 30 Members were present, the Ilouse adjourned at Ouarter to Eight o'Clock. HOUSE OF LORDS, JuLr 31. At Four o'C ock the To; al Assent was given by Commission to the Revenue Derrtments Securities Bill, South Australia Act Amendment Bill, Lard Tax Redemption Bill, Land Tax Commissioners Names Bill, Ultranational Copyright Bill, Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, Leases and Ex changes (Ireland) Bill, Oldham Gas and Waterworks Bill, India Steam S iip Company Bill. The Commissioners were, we believe, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and the Earl of Shaftesbury ; but we cannot speak positively, as the gallery was closed during the proceedings 'the Loan Cu ‘NCEI.I.Oa took his seat on the Wools,eck at Five o'Clock. A Message from the Commons brought up the Liverpool Clergy En. dowment Bill, ant ,time other 11.11 s, which were read a first time. '1 he Earl of RIPON presented petitions from Manchester, Boston, Lincoln, Pritgewater, and sevu al ether places on the subject of idola trous worship in Ind a. Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented similar petitions from Aber deen, Launceston, and two other places. The petitioners prayed for the abolition of all profit arising from the pilgrim tax, and that all inter , fercnce in the appointment of officers in the temples should be discos. tinned by the Government. The other point to which they adverted was of the most serious and grave importance—that of discontinuing a.ny outward marks of respect to their religion. If it was intended to di,.c,:ntinue such murk of respect it ought to he done with extreme cir ci.rasputh.n, for if it was done hastily it would lead to the massacre of every European Christian in India. lie said this from his own know. lAge of the character of the natives. Lord II A M expressed his satisfaction at the rcraarks of the Noble Earl, and concurred with him in thinking that the most frightful consequences might result from any hasty stein. Lori REDESD A LE moved the s,cond reading of the Fisheries (Ire. land) 8.11. Ater a few remarks this Bill was read a second time. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY inquired when the returns %vide he had moved for on Spanish affairs wooed be. laid on the table ? II thought that great delay had taken place. He also wished to know whether anything had been done towards the sett'ement of the affairs of the Spanish Lagi,as ? Lord MELBOURNE said the correspondence was exceedingly volu minous, and would be laid on the table es soon as it was possible to pre_ pare them. The Commissioners fur liquidating the claims of the Bri_ tish Legion had arrived in this comitry, but in consequence of some difference of opinion as to the mode of inquiry, they had not yet com menced their proceestiegs. Lord LY ND lIU nsr expressed hts hope that the proceedings of the Commissioners might be made public. Lord MELBOURNE, in answer to another question by the Marquis of Londonderry, said, lie understood there were now in this country agents for the purpose of purchasing horses for the service of the Spanish Government. Lord ELLENBOROUGH inquired what was intended to be done with respect to the Natives of India Protection Bill 'I Lord GLENELG said the Bill went down to the other House with considerable amendments, and as it was evident that it was not likely to pass with those amendments, the only course he had to pursue was to arrest the progress of the measure. Subsequently despatches had been sent out to India prohibiting the emigrat ion of the Indians, with the view to give time to consider the subject, and bring in a more general measure of protection. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE , the Royal Ex change Re-building Bill was read a third time and passed. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a petition from the Archdeacon and Clergy of Bath against the Beer Bill; and several pet'. tions from Warminster, and other places, in favour of the abolition of idolatrous worship in India. In answer to questions by Lords Baounieset and ELLENBOROSTGII, as to the succession to the Throne of Oude, Lord GLENELG said that he had no objection to lay on the table the papers which had been laid on the table of the other House. Lord MELBOURNE said that he understood there was no objection to the second reading of the Tithe Bill being taken sub silentio, and that the debate might be taken on going into Committee. If so he should move the Order of the Day for the second reading now. Lord BROUGHAM said he intended to oppose the Bill, and was prepared to do so at present. He had, however, no objection to state his objections at another time. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday. The Earl of RODEN presented several petitions on the subject of the Irish Tithes Bill. APPOINTMENT OF MAGISTRATES (SCOTLAND). The Earl of H ADDINGTON begged leave, pursuant to the notice which he had given a few days since, to state the circumstances con nected with the recommendation and appointment of two magistrates in the county of Cromarty, in Scotland, which their Lordships would admit te be as extraordinary as any which had ever been submitted to teat House. It would be in the recollection of their Lordships that thete was a vacancy in the representation of the county of Ross in the spring of last year, and that there was a sharp contest. At that election an individual named Gibson had been forcibly abducted, in order to prevent him from giving his vote for the Gentleman who now represented that county. There were two persons named, Watson and Smith, concerned in that abduction; they inveigled the voter Gibson to Iho house cf one of them, they made him drunk, and carried him away in a state of insensibility, and forced him, despite his struggles, into a post. chaise, in which he was rapiuly conveyed to an inn in the country, and put to bed ; from that place he made his escape and was pursued, but ultimately he got back to Ross in time to give his vote. Now those two persons, on the recommendation of the Lord Lieutenant of the county, had been appointed Justices of the Peace for that county. A prosecution had been commenced against those persons—not by the Crown, for the Crown had declined to prosecute, but on what ground he could not conceive—but the person who had been abducted prosecuted them himself, and, that being the case, he of course could not appear as a witness, which he might have done if the Crown had prosecuted. The prosecution was commenced ; the case could not be tried till the subse quent August ; but, strange to say, pendenle lite, the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack had appointed, on, the recommendation of the Lord Lieutenant, those two individuals to be magistrates. One of them was what was there called a hardware merchant, or, in plain Eng lish, an ironmonger. The other practised as a surgeon, and had no property. He had heard that since he gave notice of his motion the Noble and Learned Lord had issued a supersedeas.—(" No," from the Lord Chancellor.) Then they were still magistrates ; and he was only surprised that the Noble and Learned Lord had not done so. But, with regard to the result of the prosecu tioh after their appointment as Magistrates, the fact was, that whilst the Jury was being struck, a proposition was made by the counsel for the defendants to the counsel for the plaintiff; to the effect that the defen dants would consent to pay 251. damages and costs, as if a verdict had been found for the plaintiff for that amount. The issues which were to be tried embodied the facts which he had stated, and by their consent ing to a verdict against them for 251. the defendants admitted the guilt ; and yet these men had been recommended by the Lord Lieute nant, appointed by the Lord Chancellor, and not superseded. They had heard of strange cases of appointments of Magistrates in Ireland and in England, but he thought that he had now found one that would match them in Scotland. He imputed this to politics and nothing el•e. The Lord Lieutenant of the county of Cromarty was a gentleman of family and property, and a strong partisan of the present Govern. meld, and therefore he supposed enjoying a greater degree of the emit. dence of the Noble and Learned Lord. That Noble and Learned Lord had hitherto been charged with not paying due deference to the Lorre, Lieutenants of counties : he had certainly no such charge to make. There was another case which he would mention, on the authority of a letter received by the Hon. Member for the county of Ross, Sir. M`Kenzie. It appeared that the Lord Lieutenant of the county of Ross aas a Conservative; however in the list of names which he had submitted to the Noble and Learned Lord he had recommended four per,oes to be Justices of the Pesce who were law-ag >nts. Two of them were Come vatives, and had been Magistrates before for some years, but the other two whom he recommended were agents of the opposite pa-ty, and tin se he had described le the list of bankers; notoriously, however, they were I tw-agents. Lord MELBOURNE—What do you mean by law-agents? The Earl of ADDlNGTON—Solicitors or procurators, practising in the Sheriffs' Court. Now what had been done with that list ? The two who had been Magistrates before were struck off; and the other two were put on. The Noble and Learned Lord had struck off the two Conservative law. agents, and put on the two Whig law agents. He, therefore, moved that a copy of the last Commission of the Peace be laid on the table. The LORD CH AWELLOR had never heard a more complete proof of the impartiality of a Lord Lieutenant than that afforded by the Noble. Earl. Under the provisions of the Act of Parliament, which be held in his hands, no solicitor or procurator practising in the inferior Courts could be a Justice of the Peace in the counties of Scotland. That was the law which he was b and to obey; but when, in the exercise of his office, he came to look t ver the lists of names he found that in many lists there had beet alogi..t' ates who by that Act were disqualified ; it was his duty to cot rect that error, and the names were therefore omitted. But it appeere I hat the Lord Lieutenant of Ross.shire was a Con. servative, and of cour se impartial ; but he was more ; he was not only impartial, but he was very partial to the other side. The staeement the Noble Earl was, that there were four persons in thel lit—two Whigs nd two Tories. The two Whigs were described as bankers ; but unfortunately they were procurators. The two Tories were described in such a way as to lead any one to suppose that they were not qualified. Looking, therefore, at tire list, his attention was immediately drawn to their description, and of course he struck out the two who appeared to be disqualified. Such was the impartiality of the Lord Lieutenant that he had marked his own friends as disqualified; but the Whigs he had protected from detection, because he described them as bankers, and bankers were not disqualified. But if at the present time there were two procurators or solicitors in the Commission, they of course were disqualified.—(Hear.) As to the other case, assuming the state ment of the Noble Earl to be correct, nobody could entertain a doubt that those two individuals ought not to remain in the Commission.— (Hear.) But then it was equally clear that no man in the Commission of the peace should be struck out without having an opportunity of giving an explanation of his own conduct ; and yet the Noble Earl said he was surprised that he had not issued a supersedeas with. out communicating with these individuals at all.—(Hear, hear.) He should have been guilty of great injustice if he had done so. In the list handed to him, those two persons had been described as George Gordon Smith, surgeon, and William 'Watson, merchant. As to their situation in life, he understood that, in the northern parts of Scotland, they were under the necessity of appoint. ing that description of persons because others were not to be found. All he knew was, that the latter of these two persons had been recommended to him as a merchant; but what that word might signi f y in the lan guage of that country he had not the advantage of know in g . After he had received that list, with a letter in the usual form, he had communi cated with a gentleman connected with that part of Scot land on the subject, and he had returned the list to him without any o bservation as to those particular names. But the subject having been bro u g ht to his attention, he had written to the Lord Lieutenant of t he count y , stating the representations made to him respecting the conduct of the two Magistrates, expressing his regret at their recommendation, if it were true, and requesting information as to the truth of those represen tations. In answer to that letter he had received one from the Lord Lieu_ tenant, in which he stated that he had written to the two Magistrates, re. questing to be furnished with grounds for sustaining their appointment; and also to the agent by whom the compromise had been effected. That letter enclosed a statement, in which the Lori Lieutenant said that Smith was a medical man, and Watson a retail hardware dealer— termed, in the provincial phrase, "a merchant;" that persons in Scotland were recommended to that situation, whose rank was very dif f. rent from what would be considered suitable in England ; and that the f rma: lists for the counties of Ross and Cromarty, proved that state ment ; that he (the Lord Lieutenant) had certainly thought that these persons had been engaged in some irregular practices at the election ; that he had heard statements and counter statements, into the truth of which he had not inquired; that he had also heard of a civil action having been commenced against them ; but as the Lord Advocate had not thought proper to prosecute them, and the House of Commons had refused to address the Crown on the subject, he did not feel it his duty to expunge their names. Ile (the Lord Chancellor) was, therefore, free from blame for the part which he had taken in the matter hitherto; but now he would say a word as to his duty for the future. It was to be re. membered that to strike a man's nama out of the Commission was an act inflicting deep censure on a man's conduct; it required that a case should be made out, for it was passing sentence against him. He had heard of the matter only on tha 26th ; the Lord Lieutenant had told him that he had put the case in the course of investigation ; and he should wait for the result of that investigation in order that he might be better able to frame the questions which he should afterwards put to the individuals themselves. He should then hear what they had to say in their defence, and upon the result of that inquiry his decision must depend. After a few words from the Earl of HA DDINGTON in reply, and Lord BROUGHAM, the motion was withdrawn. CASE OF THE CONVICT THOMPSON. Viscount MELBOURNE wished to take an early opportunity of no ticing a petition recently presented by the Noble and Learned Lord below him (Lord Brougham). The statement of the petitioners was that a person named David William Thompson had been convicted of a burglary and sentenced to transportation, and that he had been released after a few month's confinement, whilst two others convicted of the same offence were left to suffer tire severe sentence of transportation passed open them. This appeared to him an extraordinary cir cumstance at the time, until he had heard from his Noble Friend the Secretary of State an explanation of the condnct which he had pursued with respect to the case of this individual. The burglary in question was cwrmitted in April, 1837. In the June following two of the p,rsons concerned in the burglary were apprehended, and tried and convicted at the ensuing Summer Assizes. The third person, who was the most active in the burglary, was not apprehended until August following, and was tried at the next Spring Assizes. However, he brought forward strong evidence to prove an alibi. The evidence on this point was strong, and to the effect that he was twenty.seven miles distant from the scene of the burglary at the time when the offence was committed. Notwithstanding this evidence, however, the Jury re turned a verdict of guilty, and the Learned Jit lge, whc; tried the case, expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the verdict. After the trial and conviction, still stronger evidence was brought forward in support of the alibi, and forwarded to the Secretary of State. It appeared, from the distance, quite impossible that the party could have been present. This evidence produced a very strong eflbct upon the mind of the Chief Justice who trial the case. On examining the depositions given at the trial of the two persons who had been convicted at the Summer Assizes, the Learned Judge found that the time sworn to as the period when the burglary was committed season the night b. tween Saturday, the Bth, and Sunday, the 9th of April. However, in the depositions taken at the trial of Thompson, the let:glary was sworn to have been committed on the Ist of April. The opinion of the Learned Judge was this—that he was mo. rally co tain of the guilt of the individual, but that he was tried for an orience committed on the lot, and that there could be no doubt that so far he was guiltless. It was under these circumstances that the Secre tary of State had acted. Lord BROUGHAM was perfectly satisfied with the explanation of the Noble Lord. Here the subject dropped. Lord BROUGH A M hoped that there would be no objection to pro duce the papers which he had moved for some time ago with respect to what had been done in the cases of various persons convicted of insanity. We understood the returns to be agreed to. PUBLIC RECORDS BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of this Bill. Lord BROUGHAM oljected to the Bill on the ground that it made no limit to the expense which might be incurred by erecting buildings for the purpose of keeping the public records. He wished also that some provision should be introduced into the Bill to entitle certified copies of these records to be received as evidence, liable, of course, to be traversed. After a few observations from the Earl of DEVON and Lord LANG DALE, The Earl of ABERDEEN had been given to understand that the large and preposterous tower which was to form part of the Houses of Parliament was to be appropriated to the custody of these records. It was the most preposterous edifice ever thought of. Lord BROUGHAM concurred in the opinion that it was a most preposterous conception. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed, as we understood, on Monday next. THE TRADING COMPANIES' BILL. This Bill was, after a few observations from Lord BROUGHAM, In opposition to the principle of it, read 2. second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. On the motion of the Earl of FINGAL the Loan Societies (Ire. land) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday next. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the report of the Hackney Carriages Bill was received. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR called the attention of their Lordships to the amendments which had been made to the Bill by the other House of Parliament. The Noble and Learned Lord read the amendments, which he thought desirable, and hoped their Lordships would agree to them. The Duke of WELLINGTON was desirous that the consideration of these amendments should be postponed until they should have the benefit of having the law Lords present in the House. On a former occasion he had recommended their Lordships to introduce a clause providing for compensation to certain officers, who would lose by the operation of this Bill. He had proposed a clause to that effect, and the Noble Viscount opposite had promised that the clause should receive future consideration. He perceived, from what had occurred in ano ther place, that the subject had not been taken into consideration, and that the Bill had been passed in the other House of Parliament, without the introduction of any clause providing for the compensation of these individuals. He thought it would be rather hard to those individuals not to give them some chance of h aving the subject taken into consideration, and he was determined to take the sense of the House upon the subject. Viscount MELBOURNE was very sorry at the omissions that had occurred. He thought that the Bill did contain a provision providing compensation to the gaolers of the Cinque Ports. Was the Noble Duke quite certain that no such clause was in the Bill ? The Duke of WELLINGTON —No such clause is in the Bill. The further consideration of the amendment was then postponed to Monday next. On the motion of Lord CARBURY the County Clate Treasurers Bill was read a second time. The Constables on Public Works Bill was also read a second thee. The House then adjourned to Thursday. The contents of the August number of Mr. Col burn's New Monthly Magazine, exhibit an extraordinary array of names of distinguished writers. Besides a paper by the Editor, Theodore Hook, Esq., there are ethers by Thomas Campbell, Esq., author of " The Pleasures of Hope;" The Right Hon. T. P. Courtenay ; Messrs. Horace and James Smith, the two authors of " Rejected Addresses ;" John Poole, Esq., author of " Paul Pry ;" M. J. Quin, Esq. ; Douglas Jerrold, Esq. ; Leman Blanchard, Esq. ; T. C. Grattan, Esq.. &c. &c. The number is also embellished with a portrait, accompanied by a me moir of Mrs. S. C. Hall, the admired authoress of " Lights and Shadows of Irish Life," &c. Yesterday afternoon an occurrence, which it is feared will be attended with fatal consequences, took place in Farringdon • street. A young woman, named Larby, in the service of Mrs. Jall;eSOD, a lady residing in Guildford-street, Russell-square, was crossing the road, accompanied by a child about ten years of age, when before she had time to move out of the way, she was run against and knocked down by the shaft of a cart (the horse attached to which had, it appeared, during the temporary absence of the driver, started off at full speed), and the off wheel passing over the upper part of her right leg, crushed it in a dreadful manner. She was also much injured en the head. The child had a very narrow escape. At Hatton-garden yesterday the driver of a Pad dington omnibus was fined 41. 18s., the amount of damage done to a cab, which was overturned by the defendant's driving against and up setting it, while racing with another omnibus iu Holborn on Friday last. NEWGATE.—The committee appointed to examine into the state of Ncwgate yesterday laid their retortport before the Court of Aldermen. The substance of the report s the present system worked well. Sir George Carroll, one of the Sheriffs, stated that Marshal Soult, in visiting the gaol, had expressed great admiration of the arrange ments, remarking, that in this respect England was greatly in advance of France. Yesterday morning a fire broke out in the work shops of a cabinet-maker, named Poole, residing in Hoxton Old Town. and did considerable damage. The property is said to have been insured, A pig-killer, named James Wright, was examined yesterda y, before the magistrates at St. Alban's, charged with stabbing the Rev. Mr. Dowton, the minister of Withamstead parish. From the evidence it aprared, that the prisoner had been creating a disturbance in his own cottage, and threatening to stab some one, when the Rev. Gentleman, at the request of the prisoner's daughter, went into the cot tage to remonstrate with him on his conduct, when prisoner stabbed him i n the side with a knife which he had in his hand. Mr. Dowton was not able to be present at the examination, although the wound is not ex pected to prove fatal, sod the prisoner was remanded. The prisoner pleaded intoxication and sudden passion. The T o wn Council of this city h ave pet i t i one d t h e Postmaster -General for an acceleration of the snail between Edinburgh and Aberdeen. We arc at a loss to conjecture the grounds on which the Post-odice has so long delayed this accommodation, more especially since a morning mail was dispatched from Edinburgh to Montrose. Aberdeen Herald. A „ ew species of pea has been just introduced into this neighbourhood (Dorchester) by Mr. Harris, of Upway nursery garden', which offers an excel ent imitation of the French bean. This t ea, which is termed the Sultana bean pea, is dressed in precisely the rase manner as the French bean—viz., without being " shelled," an.i they form a remarkably succulent dish.—Dorset Chronicle.

SIIOCKING ACCIDENT.—A man of the name of John Pattinson, who was employed in repairing the waggons at the Carlisle Railway.station, London-road, lost his life yesterday (Friday) afternoon, in a most shocking manner. Two trains, one of coal wag gons, the other of stone, were passing along the oppasite lines, but coupled together by a chain, for the purp ose o f a ll ow i ng one engine to draw bcth. Pattinson was walking u;:on the line, near St. Nicholas, and not perceiving the coupling chain, attempted to pass between the lines. The engineer and other prisons on the waggons shouted to hint , ' but he did not seem to understand them, became confused, and fell, and i the waggons passing over him, his head and both his arms below clie elbow were severed offl—Carlisle Journal.—[The accidents which are constantly occurring on Railways are numerous, and truly d , :eadful• Almost every number of every newspaper from the neighbourhood of 3 Railroad records the recent occurrence of a calamity—sometimes of se veral calamitous events in its locality.] PEDESTRIANISNI EXTRAORDINARY.;---O n Moll" day even:ng William Warren, agreeably to announcement, undertool‘ to run from the Plough Hotel to the grand-stand on the race-course' and back, in the very short time of 55 minutes, a distance, we are i n " . formed, of set en miles, and which we consider e qua l t o t en miles 6rl:, level ground, the whole of the road there bein g a s t eep ascent.
